No, it's a limitation of the seeking method used in the rc interface.

Seeking in % of the file size will work because VLC does know the file size of your TS sample. But seeking in time (seconds) doesn't work because TS streams don't have a bitrate information or time indexes so we just can't find the place in the stream which corresponds to a certain time (at least without decoding all the file until this precise time).

However I think I'll implement some basic bitrate estimation (from the data already read) so at least a basic / non-precise time seeking can be done.
